Description

Subject Area: Environmental Humanities

Environmental issues inescapably involve science and technology. The first two parts of the course deal with the generation of scientific knowledge and the nature of technological systems respectively, both of which are central to understanding the dynamics of environmental issues and debate. The final third of the course applies these insights directly to the most complex and compelling environmental issue of our era, namely climate change.
